What fits in 141 GB?

These estimates use one 8K sequence and include runtime workspace. “Multi-GPU” indicates the minimum memory-equivalent device count, not a guarantee that the model or runtime supports that topology efficiently.

01 / Good fit

Where this profile makes sense.

NVIDIA H200 is positioned as long-context memory hardware with 141 GB of memory. It is a practical candidate when the full serving envelope stays below 119.8 GB per device and the runtime supports the selected precision. For latency or throughput planning, memory fit is only the first gate: benchmark the exact model, batch shape, framework, and provider topology.

02 / Watch-outs

Why a fit can still fail.

Advertised capacity is not always fully available to model serving. Drivers, runtime kernels, CUDA or ROCm graphs, fragmentation, adapters, multimodal encoders, speculative decoding, and provider reservations can all move the real boundary. Treat the matrix as a shortlist, then validate on the target stack.
